Vcenter plugin should use HTTP interface for Add Port

[Hari Prasad Killi]

As the thrift interface is to be deprecated, the vcenter plugin should use the HTTP interface provided by the agent. The following note gives an indication of where to get other info.

-----

We need to use vrouter-port-control script to send add/delete port notifications to agent. This script sends http messages for add/delete to agent. It also ensures that port info is persisted in file (Agent reads those files and re-adds port during restarts).

You can look at /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/virt/libvirt/vif.py to see how vrouter-port-control script is being used.

The vrouter-port-control script is present in controller repo under src/vnsw/agent/port_ipc/
